Administration of CAT was far from perfect, admits Prometric

American firm Prometric, which conducted the computerised CAT 2009, today admitted that administration of the exam was far from perfect. India Managing Director of Prometric, Mr Soumitra Roy speaking to PTI said while the administration was far from perfect. His comments assume significance against the backdrop of faculty associations of three IIMs passing separate resolutions, seeking scrapping of CAT 2009 on the ground thatit has lost credibility due to the technical problems. It may be noted that tests were successfully given to more than 2.15 lakh candidates over the course of 11 days. The computerised test, which was conducted on 17,000 computers in 361 temporary testing labs at 104 centres in 32 cities, was marred by virus attack and other technical glitches from the beginning. The test was supposed to be taken by 2.41 lakh candidates for admission into IIMs and B-Schools.<br/><br/>
